Perfect surf day - We had a great experience using Xiulta for our surfing adventure. During the booking process questions where answered promptly and communication was simple.
Our instructor Raphael was wonderful and easy to learn from and enjoy the waves with. We were brought to a lovely secluded surf beach which had waves for all levels of surfer. Raphael provided an excellent beach lesson prior to jumping in and even though it was not our first time surfing here was plenty to learn from the pro tips provided and in the end great waves where caught and a lovely day had.
A perfect experience and highly recommended.

Muy bien! - Great service - from PV, as it’s hard to find someone to take you out to the good surfing spots when you are downtown. Great guy (Rafael) and good conversation. Muy bien.

Rafael did a fantastic... - Rafael did a fantastic job guiding us on our surf expedition. The whole process, from getting picked up at our hotel to arriving at the beach, was smooth and easy. He took his time to give us helpful tips in the water and made sure we felt comfortable throughout. On top of that, he was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Surf Experience - Amazing experience and highly recommend Xiutla Riders Surf lesson. Edson was amazing with us. I have surf experience, but this was my 9 year old daughter first time to surf. He did such a great job helping her get up and surf the waves. She had such a great experience because of his help. Also he helped with my technique and reading the waves at Nueva Vallarta beach. I highly recommend Xiutla Riders Surf lessons and will use them any time Im back in Puerta Varallarta
Thanks!

Amazing Value - I was surprised that for the price it was truly a private excursion. Our surf instructor drove my girlfriend and I out to Punta Mita in a Jeep and provided personalized coaching tailored to our experience. He was incredibly nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

Pick this trip! - Our surf trip with Edison exceeded our expectations! He was super personable and a wonderful teacher. My partner and I were at different skill levels and he was able to teach us both at the same time. It was my first time surfing and I was able to catch several waves thanks to Edison! We will be surfing with him again when we are back in PV!

Great Experience! - Edson was amazing! He took our sons out to surf at Punta de Mita and they loved it. Edson explained how they could improve and gave them pointers so they felt confident enough to surf on their own. My husband and I went along for the ride to watch and the company was very accommodating.

Surfing - The surfing beach was completely rocking, wave way too big for first timers. Would not recommend this activity
